The compliance of IoT platforms to quality is paramount to achieve users satisfaction. Currently, we do not have a comprehensive set of guidelines to appraise and select the most suitable IoT platform architectures that meet relevant…
The "Smart City" (SC) concept has been around for decades with deployment scenarios revealed in major cities of developed countries. However, while SC has enhanced the living conditions of city dwellers in the developed world, the concept…
These days, the development of smart cities, specifically in location-aware, latency-sensitive, and security-crucial applications (such as emergency fire events, patient health monitoring, or real-time manufacturing) heavily depends on a…
In today's world, many cities are embracing cutting-edge technology and transforming into "smart cities". These emerging innovations are revolutionizing the standard of living for people, and as a result, smart city infrastructure…
In the context of IoT deployments, a multitude of devices concurrently require network access to transmit data over a shared communication channel. Employing symmetric strategies can effectively facilitate the collaborative use of the…
Public educational systems operate thousands of buildings with vastly different characteristics in terms of size, age, location, construction, thermal behavior and user communities. Their strategic planning and sustainable operation is an…
We propose a formal approach for specifying and implementing decentralised coordination in distributed systems, with a focus on smart contracts. Our model captures dynamic roles, data-driven transitions, and external coordination…
As IoT becomes omnipresent vast amounts of data are generated, which can be used for building innovative applications. However,interoperability issues and security concerns, prevent harvesting the full potentials of these data. In this…
Selecting appropriate use cases for implementing digital solutions in small towns is a recurring challenge for smart city projects. This paper presents a transdisciplinary methodology for systematically identifying and evaluating such use…
One of the most far-reaching use cases of the internet of things is in smart grid and smart home operation. The smart home concept allows residents to control, monitor, and manage their energy consumption with minimum loss and…
Cybersecurity is an inherent characteristic that should be addressed before the large deployment of smart city applications. Recently, Blockchain appears as a promising technology to provide several cybersecurity aspects of smart city…
Cities are changing constantly. All urban systems face different conditions from day to day. Even when averaged regularities can be found, urban systems will be more efficient if they can adapt to changes at the same temporal scales at…
Robots have inherently limited onboard processing, storage, and power capabilities. Cloud computing resources have the potential to provide significant advantages for robots in many applications. However, to make use of these resources,…
Smart lighting is an underlying concept that links three main aspects: solid-state lighting (SSL) technologies, advanced control and universal communication interfaces following global standards. However, this conceptualization is…
Smart grids (SGs) enable integration of diverse power sources including renewable energy resources. They can contribute to the reduction of harmful gas emission, and support two-way information flow to enhance energy efficiency, along with…
Traditional power grids are being transformed into Smart Grids (SGs) to address the issues in existing power system due to uni-directional information flow, energy wastage, growing energy demand, reliability and security. SGs offer…
In response to challenges posed by urbanization, David Bollier from the University of Southern California raised a new idea for city planning: a comprehensive network and applications of information technologies. IBM later echoed the idea…
The integrated exploitation of data sources in the mobility domain is key to providing added-value services to passengers, transport companies and authorities. Indeed, multiple stakeholders operate and maintain different kinds of data but…
Smart cities rely on dynamic and real-time data to enable smart urban applications such as intelligent transport and epidemics detection. However, the streaming of big data from IoT devices, especially from mobile platforms like pedestrians…
Web processes are made up of services as their units of functionality. The services are represented as a graph and compose a synergy of service. The composite service is prone to failure due to various causes. However, the end-user should…
